About
You’ll likely enjoy Hannibal Rising if you want a gritty origin story with revenge and unsettling intensity, but Not for you if you want a straightforward Hannibal experience like The Silence of the Lambs or prefer less gore than The Hills Have Eyes.
Pros: effective thriller tone; strong acting; disturbing backstory | Cons: uneven screenplay; fans disappointed; overly gore-heavy
